A few weekends ago, I was in a wedding and I tried out one hair-style that I really loved. I am really considering it for my wedding!

I love how the hair cascades and frames my face, but the rest is up in a formal up-do. My make-up below is done by myself, but i”ll be getting it professionally done on the day of. What do you think? Is it a wedding-do?

Thursday Night we had a bunch of guests staying over and I was so excited to use my new sheets! They are from Target and I had been waiting for them to go on sale foreverrr~ untilt hey finally did! eeek, so exciting ❤ I LOVE the way they look with my anthro blanket.

So…last weekend Markel and I get to do one more engagement shoot! We’re incredibly excited and this one will be at our favorite beach in Laguna, called Thousand Step. It’s the beach that we went to in the beginning of our relationship so it’s extra special to us ❤

I have a feeling that I might be late on updates for the next week or two (or perhaps until after the wedding…*sigh ). But last weekend Markel and I got our new keys to our FAB pad. We rented a uhaul and moved all day Sunday (and most of this week). It’s such a pain to move and I can’t believe how much STUFFFFFFFF we have. It’s actually kind of sick…

Anyway, here are some pics from Sunday. We aren’t nearly done doing much of anything: decorating, painting, buying furniture, tossing junk we brought over…etc. But for now, all the boxes have been moved in and it’s just a matter of unpacking. Once the place gets all settled I’ll post some pics!

This past weekend was really really fun. Since Markel and I are able to move in 3 weeks early, we kind of put wedding planning on hold and just started packing and preparing for our new place. Which…has led to the last 2 weekends of our old life back. No stress, no monumental amount of stuff to do… it’s been awesome. As much as I’d like to stretch out this engagement period, I really can’t wait till the wedding is over so we can start living our lives again! and I can freaking go SHOPPING again!! lol I haven’t shopped, gone to a bark, or really HAD FUNNN in MONTHS because everything is about my lame wedding diet (aka no drinking) or getting the 20 million wedding details together. *sigh *

ANYWAY…let’s not get into that cray stress…

Friday night, Markel and I double dated with one of our FAAAVE couples! This couple also happens to be getting married this weekend, which will be INCREDIBLY fun and exciting!! xoxo (I’m in the bridal party of this wedding and the Bride is going to be in mine! keke And the most fun is that the groom and I are from the same hometown ❤

Last date night at Black Hogg before we BOTH get hitched!! xoxo totally the perfect way to spend this night.

another cute collage of us ❤

Saturday morning, Markel and I woke up bright and early to play flag football! Our church is having a tournament in 2 weeks and we can’t wait to kick butt! Also, adorable Corduroy came out to play. LOVE this ball of fur!

After the game, we went to Pitfire Pizza on Westwood Blvd (my first date place with Markel!) The food is so yummy there ❤

In the evening I went to my bff’s bf’s 30th birthday party!! We had Korean BBQ and oh man…it was HEAVEN. I’ve been eating really fresh veggies and lean meats (no carbs…*tear *) so eating at Korean BBQ seriously felt like I had died and gone to delicious food heaven. Love these guys!

(so random…the bathroom stalls have names on them and on had mine! haha I feel like my name is really coming up in the world and becoming more popular. go figure huh?)

Sunday, I was super lazy and spent the day drinking green stuff and sneaking a dessert =P I also spent the day packing and just hanging out. With the new time change, I completely missed church (boo) and ended up sleeping until noon! I guess I was more tired than I realized…

photodump of the week. Free STUFF would be the best way to caption it =P

This next weekend is going to be SERIOUSLY cray with a wedding, moving, and engagement pictures! CRAYY!

Today at work, my favorite professor came in and gave me this article he found of my name in Hebrew (and a little blurb about it). Then he was kind enough to write it again in Aramaic as well! To the right is my Chinese name. =)

Just like my Forever 21 and Amazon wishlists…I’m making an ASOS one as well! I’m itching to get some new items for my spring wardrobe!!

With the packing for my new place, I’ve been tossing all my old shoes/bags/accessories/clothes that I haven’t worn in 1-2 years (my rule). So as my wardrobe whittles down, I’m dying to buy some new trendy/staple items!
